I was wondering about the update situation for the Toshiba Excite Pro.

_Specifically:_

- is there going to be an update to Android 4.3 or 4.4? After all, this is a premium segment tablet, and I would expect the usual level of support. Other manufacturer usually release one or two updates.

- is miracast still coming? It was promised at release, but then it got quiet about it.

- has the thermal throttling problem finally been fixed? Again this isn't rocket science, every other manufacturer seems to be able to produce tablets that work without overheating.

- is there ever going to be a way to root it or unlock the boot loader?

I am sorry if that sounds critical, but given the reviews I had read, I think these questions are extremely relevant.

This miracast thing has me completely baffled, perhaps you could help me understand.

I want to run miracast on my new Excite Pro.
Amazon [uk] advertise it with miracast.

Miracast say it will run on android above 4.2.
I called Toshiba and they tell me it will NOT run on this tablet.

The Excite pro 10 I have supports Wi-Fi, is android 4.2, and should be able to run miracast according to miracast requirements
I do not want to spend out on the miracast dongle if my tablet will not support it.

Anybody here received this yet? Looks like it's only a matter of time. :)

I was looking for the technical bulletin with the European ROM versions. Is it just me, or is the support web site completely broken? I cannot find anything in there, neither by product nor by search words. And I cannot send a link, because the site does not use URLs.

I am still baffled by this. Support has of course not answered my questions, but I would guess that with the new kernel compiled, they would aim to keep the promise of delivering miracast in Q4. Maybe they will roll it our around Christmas, or more likely early in the New Year.

4.3 is available in UK for Excite Pro downloaded and installed and working fine. Have not tried Miracast as no interest for me. Go to Service Station for update to 4.3. There is no external link to download it from it is only available through Service Station App

Hi,
I live in Germany and I haven*t received the update yet although I check it with ServiceStation App nearly daily.
When will it be available in Germany?
Or has any of you who lives here already got it?

I have bought the excite pro tablet just one week ago, ( the decision for the Toshiba Excite Pro was mainly based on the announcement of the android 4.3 update and the support for miracast...)

I have checked the 'service station' icon daily but so far no update for users in Germany available, correct???
Has anyone here received the 4.3 update already and can you confirm that Miracast is working?

-> @Toshiba Service: please help and reply to this important issue. (I will cancel my purchase and send back the tablet if the 4.3 update and the Miracast function will not be available in Germany very soon...)

Hi everyone !
I'm desperate... I have an Excite Pro AT10LE-A but it still sit to 4.2 Android version, no way to have the 4.3 update.
I didn't get any update message on the air, there is nothing about this in the service station, no way also via the "settings" icon.
I also tryed to switch from country UK to country Italy, but nothing... it still sit to 4.2....
